Wow! I'm interested in a pair, depending on price.

onlymeeee is clearly too busy playing with his shiny new toys to respond to us  8)

 

[rmaier]

Very cool! Interested in a pair, depending on price, no metal (they'll go into a 2u box).

At the risk of getting ahead of things, would it difficult to implement the mod  for switching the range of the cut/boost pots?

I think it's fair to say that onlymeeee has started something here!

It looks like a lovely piece of work

Hey everyone!  Ok so I've ordered everything including some extra PCB/L-brackets for those who wish to rack them in a 2u rack with their own front panels etc..    The L-bracket may still be useful in this configuration to hide the nuts etc.. 

So around 3 weeks I'd imagine, I'll have everything ready   

In regards, to modding the gain..  very easily done..  I experimented myself too..  just a resistor change..

Hi, maybe I missed it, but is there a price yet for the PCBs and/or kits?

Not 100% sure yet..  the metal/PCBs/hardware etc will be around the same price as my other kits.. but I still have to work out the pricing on top for knobs and pots..  This week I'll work it all out and make the manual/webpage and everything...

I like those GML-style knobs. If you use the Elma versions they add a lot to the appearance of the unit. They are quite expensive but I think the additional cost is worthwhile. If you can do a group buy on them it might be possible to get the prices a bit more sensible

Elma will do quantity discounts but the minimum order is relatively high and it is per-item. If you approach them with a decent-sized order they should be amenable to a decent-sized discount and maybe they'll be more flexible re minimum quantities

Happy to help with this if required

The knobs I've used and ordered are OKW ones, which have a 4mm opening for the Omeg pot shafts to fit through.  They look very similar to the Elmas, but Elma don't have any that would work for the Omeg dual concentric pots..  Also they're cheaper too which is an added bonus!

 

 

[DonnieDarko]

I think the Knobs you used look very good.
